I'm an LCSW with extensive experience in treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders as well as well as Depression. I believe in meeting a client where they are at and partnering with them to meet their goals. I believe that it is not just my job to "treat the symptoms" but to help you find lasting change and give you the skills to continue to grow and maintain that change long after our time together. I've worked in some form of human services since 2000. I started as a Social Worker in the community working with foster and probation youth and progressed to private foster care. I spent 12 years woking in prison mental health and was a supervisor of one of the largest mental health programs in the state for the last 3 years of my career in the prisons. I left that to start my private practice and follow my passion for helping people. I'm grateful for all of the experience I had working in the community but following my life's passion was the best decision I ever made! I'm a mom of two grown amazing young men! They are my greatest accomplishment! I meditate daily, I am a certified yoga teacher, and love anything in nature.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I’m holistic in my approach, in that, I believe in treating the whole person not just the symptoms. I want us to have a very good understanding of your situation, what is contributing to the things you want to change and how to make the changes you want. From there we build a plan for treatment (the solution), and give you the skills to do the work in and outside of sessions. I also look at your life holistically, diet, exercise, self-care, behavior, and thinking patterns. Lasting change and growth come from the daily habits and activities that we keep.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

For a long time I trained therapists to be therapists. You can have the knowledge and check all of the boxes but there is something to be said about clinical intuition and the ability to really connect with the people you are working with. I do my very best to do exactly that. Clients describe me as warm, kind, empathetic, knowledgable, and supportive. I might also be described as funny, directive, and a good coach that prompts you to move forward in your journey of change. I try very hard to connect with the people I work with and understand what they need and want and meet them there. With many years of experience in many settings I feel like I have had the opportunity to gain a lot of different tools to offer people which is extremely valuable.

My treatment methods

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)

I have specialized in ERP treating OCD and related anxiety disorders for the past 5 years. ERP is the gold standard of treatment for anxiety disorders of all types. Though it is not an easy treatment to engage in it is extremely effective! Many of my clients find initial decrease in anxiety within the first 3 to 6 months with significant improvement over the next year.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

In addition to being an LCSW I am also a yoga and meditation instructor. A mindful life is a core value of mine to bring more peace and overall wellness to the human existence.

Eclectic

Though I specialize in ERP, CBT, and Mindfulness based techniques I have 20 plus years experience in helping people. I believe in meeting a person where they are at and bringing tools in to meet those needs. I am constantly learning and growing in skills and bring whatever my client needs in that moment to the table.
